Im fitting up the rack at the moment, Just having to redesign my headers slightly to allow a little more room between the headers and the steering rack boot. I am going to heat wrap them and maybe put a stainless steel guard between them all so if needed. I am just setting up the rack height and length to get good steering geomitry(i hope). It is working out well but i have no spare room. If the starter motor or anything was 10mm wider then i would not be posible to fit it all in. As it is now i am having to design everything to work in together or it just wont fit. The drivers side header should be slightly easier as only one primary pipe will have to be squeased around to fit past the steering column.
JDS.
I am planning to just swap the left and right strut around (leaving the lower control arm the same) which will just make the brake caliper at the front of the strut and the steering arm at the rear. The brake calipers and mounts are not designed any stronger for stresses on them, one way or the other so there should be no problem. I have had a look around and my falcon rears are on the front of the axel. the only problem i can see is the cooling of the brakes may not be quite as good but i dont see that as a real issue. I dont think i is worth the hassel except that i was going power steering and wanted the extra sump capacity i can get having it at the front. I couldnt get the motor back far enought to not change the sump anyway.
